That's not just Americans, unfortunately.

However, are English people technically British? If I recall correctly, the word "Briton" comes from the CELTIC dialect "Brythonic", and the word "England" is derrived from "Angle-land"; the land of the Angles, Germanic Barbarians.

So therefore, would English people even technically be British?
